In Rastc

A comical case of jumping at conclu. Iions-and of the consequences thereof is given by the Galveston Nea0s. The editor says that Thomas McWhirter, of San Antonio, owned goat. One eve ming Mir. McWhirter was out in the yard feeding his COW. He had taken off his coat and laid it on the fence.
 In the pocket of the coat. he supposed, was a morocco pocket book containing government bonds to the amount of two thousand dollars.
 When he had attended to the wants of the COW, and turned to get his coat, he found that garment lying in the mud.
 The goat had pulled it of the fence, and now stood balancing himself on the roof of the chicken coop. As he came within the range of Mir. McWhirter's vision, and of rock that the old man threw at him, he was in the act of mas ticating what seemed to be the remnant of red morocco pocket book. Mir. McWhirter concluded at once that it was his pocket book. and that it contain ed his two thousand dollars.
 As the awful disasterous character of the misfortune dawned on Mir McW hir- ter. and he fully realized that his two thousand dollars were filed away in the digestive machinery of four-dollar goat, he gave vent to his feelings in a yell that sounded like the wall of a pair of bagpipes leading funeral procession,
 With dismay in every feature ard thrcc-tined hay fork in his hand, he gave bound and went at full speed for the goat.
 Tie goat decided not to wait for him, but ran down the street, the irascible old man, coatless and hatless, in full cry in his wake.
 As the two came tearing along, the goat bleating derisive defiance, and McWhirter waving the hay fork and calling on the passers by to "head of that $2,000 bond," pedestrians crawled ap on fences, and hack drivers drove into alleys until the procession passed
 Over shrubbery in front gardens, and out through yard gates, the two kept OF in their mad career, until at last the goat was corralled in a stable.
 A butcher was sent for. and under in. structions from Mir. McWhirter, killed the goat. Inside was found an assort- ment of clothes pins, manila paper and hay, but there was no trace of the United States bonds.
 McWhirter tried to speak emphatical- ly, but emotion choked his utterance. He directed the butcher to give the re. mains to the poor, and went home in hack. to find his pocket book and the bonds in the pocket of another coat where be had left them,

AIaska's Valuable Forests.

Alaska forests contain enough lum, Der to supply the world. The forests of pine, spruce, fir, and hcmlock cover every island of the archipelago and a goodly portion of the mainland. The trees are straight and tall and grow close together. The only saw-mill at present in operation is at Douglas is- land, and so far there has not been a cord of timber cut for shipment. The trees, as rule, do not have large di- mansions, and will not always cut up into good-sized boards. For fuel, how ever, the wood is excellent, and much of it is available for building purposes There is little decorative wood, al though the yellow pine is richly color. ed and might be used to advantage in interior work. Alaska spruce is an ex- cellent variety, and often measures five feet in diameter. It is considered the best spruce in the world and the supply is very abundant. In the interior of the country, timber is of much heavier growth than near the coast and on tho islands. Regarding the hemlock, there is large supply, and the bark com. pares favorably with that of the east ern trees, used in tanning establish ments. None have yet attempted to compute the value of the Alaska for ssts. It may be they will not be nec- essary for years to come, but whenever wood grows scarce elsewhere, or when- ever civilization fastens itself upon Alaska, the timber of the region will be found ready at hand and existing in rich profusion. Calculating only ap- proXimately the value of our posses sionS to-day, the forests must be con- sideted. Practically inexhaustible, they add most materially to the wealth of the country. -,SHka Cor.

 Arbitration s we'll worth considering by farmers, who find themselves in dis putc about some simple question of fact, as, for instance, the amount of damage which As breechy cattle have done to B's corn, or as to what was the value of As sheep which were killed by B's bad dog. Such questions can generally be quickly, cheaply, and justly settled by one or more fair-minded neighbors, and the expense, delay, and aggravation oi suit in Court may thus be avoided. .-- AaNeriry27s A9rtcU(tUriSt.

Hdulka Grange


The following preamble and
resolutions of Houlka Grange was
handed US by the Secretary, with
The request to pubIsh
Whereas, Chiekasaw County
Grange, acting in concert with the
Reliefs Of Cbiokasaw, Pontotoc and
Calhoun counties, did appoint
committee to act with the Relief
committee, and whereas said COM
mittee did make arrangements
with the Cotton Weighers of Oko-
Iona, Aberdeen and other places,
to weigh cotton for a certain price
and give actual weights, and
whereas some Of the business men
OF these towns have gone back on
the cotton raisers by not settling
with them according to the weights
Of the public wcighers; therefore
be it.
Resolved l, That we, the mem-
bers Of Houlka Grange, condemn
the action of those who have thus
acted.
Resolved 2, That we will not
sell any more cotton to, or do any
more trading with such persons,
unless they settle according TO
actual weight of cotton and pay
back to those whom We consider
they have wronged.
Resolved g, That we respectful
ly solicit all farmers to cooperate
with US in what we believe to be
Just and right.
